My feeling is that the City of Concord should buy it for redevelopment and bring in H-Mart, outlets, and some sort of Hotel with a conference venue.

Elderly housing would prob be relevant considering our state is #2 for oldest population, as well as its proximity to still-standing shopping centers. The malls-to-housing concept has been implemented in other parts of the country too. I don't think forcing more retail into a place where it already failed is the way to go... NH residents are hungry for services that actually benefit and enrich their lives. It's no coincidence that two of their only existing tenants are a gym and a trampoline park lol.

Fun fact, the rooftops of the Steeplegate Mall is an ornithologist observation site for endangered nighthawks.

No fooling? I wonder if that's what I saw yesterday afternoon. I was headed west on Loudon Road and saw what looked like a smallish red tailed hawk, but it was almost dark out. 🤔

The owners won’t sell. Every time it’s sent an offer , they up the price. Looks like someone needs a loss on their books.

This is one of the most fucked up things we incentivize here. Letting real estate sit empty and rot for tax purposes is such bullshit.

I never thought of it that way, but that makes a *lot* of sense with what I've seen.
